How to do Laundry: step-by-step guide
Doing laundry is a full cycle: sort, wash, dry, fold, put away. The written steps below match the video.
Sort dirty clothes into lights and darks, and set aside anything delicate.
Load one sorted pile into the washer without packing it tight.
Add the correct amount of detergent using the cap or a pod.
Choose the water temperature and cycle, then press start.
When the washer stops, move the wet clothes to the dryer and clean the lint trap.
Start the dryer on a normal setting and wait for the cycle to finish.
Take the clothes out promptly, fold them, and put them away.
Helpful tips
- Check pockets before washing.
- Wash new bright colors separately the first time.
